Perhaps the reason the league is waiting for the PA to (once again) accept full inkage and some basic share of the HRR (negotiable) is because that is the box everything goes into. Without the box it doesn't much matter what the other things are in the leagues view. With the box they are far more likely to move from their position on other issues.

It might be that percent of HRR is the tangible in this, the cash. the other stuff are intangibles they may work out in favour of the team or the player depending but as they say "A bird in hand and all that.

Besides if the the players accept the owners percentage desires the other stuff that goes in the box will never be in the player's favour. The league is not going to shorten the time it takes to gain free agency, they aren't going to allow for longer contracts so that teams can mitigate the salary cap. What would you do if you were Fehr?
